On Con Co island, I could only take advantage of the little time when the field work mission had lunch to "type" the laptop at full speed. When the fleet of ships whistled off the island and continued patrolling, it was also the time when the information from the mission trip to the sea and the island was "on air" to readers. For journalists, it is a great happiness. A hungry stomach or sleep-deprived eyes are just "small things".
